What the share means
Each row is one purchase at US prices. The share is what the creator gets divided by what the viewer pays for the same thing: of a $5.00 Kick sub the streamer gets $4.75, which is 95%. Prices come from the platforms' own pages and, for iPhone apps, from the US App Store, with the day each price was listed.
Each figure says how sure it is. Official figures are the platform's own. App Store prices are what Apple's US store listed. "At most" marks a share of net revenue: Twitch gives the streamer 50% of a sub after taxes and fees, so that share of the price is the most it can be. "Reported" marks a figure the platform does not publish, and those rows come last.
Why the same Stars pay differently on the web and in an app
Telegram gives a channel owner $1.30 for 100 Stars earned with paid posts, wherever the viewer bought them. Those Stars cost $1.50 on Fragment and $1.99 in the iPhone app, so the creator's share is 86.7% on Fragment and 65.3% in the app.
The difference is the store. A purchase in an iPhone app goes through Apple's App Store, which takes its own fee, and the app's price is higher. Kick shows the same: a sub costs $5.00 on the website and a gifted sub $6.49 in the iPhone app, and the streamer gets $4.75 for either.
This page does not say where to buy. It shows where a viewer's money goes; prices change, and each store has its own terms. The Telegram Stars calculator and the Kick sub calculator show the prices in other countries.
What the figures leave out
- Taxes. Twitch splits a sub's net revenue, after taxes and fees, and creators pay tax on what they earn where they live.
- Payout minimums and waiting times. Meta pays out Facebook Stars from $25 ($5 in the US) and Instagram gifts from $25, and Telegram's Star rewards can be withdrawn 21 days after they are earned.
- Special deals. Twitch's Plus Program raises the streamer's share of net revenue to 60% or 70%, and large creators may have terms of their own.
- Ad revenue, sponsorships and anything else outside these purchases.
- Prices in other countries: app stores price their packs country by country, and this page uses US prices.
Rows that rest on reported figures
Some rows rest on a figure the platform does not publish, such as a payout per coin or a share of Super Chats. Other sites report these figures; the table marks them as reported and puts them last.
By those reports, about 71.4% of a Bits purchase on the web reaches the streamer, and about 32.9% of a coin purchase in TikTok's iPhone app. The TikTok coin calculator and the Twitch Bits calculator work them out for any amount.
